🐾 MEET DIESEL
Diesel is a strikingly handsome young fellow with a lovely nature, an athletic build and plenty of personality!
He came into ARK care after his owner was hospitalised and, sadly, was not expected to return home. Through no fault of his own, Diesel now finds himself looking for a new family.
He's a very people-friendly boy who enjoys human company and has all the makings of a terrific companion.
Diesel is intelligent, energetic and sometimes a little too clever for his own good! He can be a bit pushy and likes to test the boundaries, but he's still young and learning. He responds well to clear expectations and consistent guidance.
He's friendly with female dogs and generally respectful of other dogs, provided that respect is mutual. He's still learning to walk nicely on a lead, but is making steady progress.
Diesel is untested with cats and small children.
❤️ DIESEL'S IDEAL HOME
Diesel would thrive with an experienced, confident owner who appreciates a clever, athletic dog and can provide the structure and guidance he needs.
His ideal home would offer:
Secure, good-quality fencing.
Clear boundaries and consistent, positive training.
Regular exercise, companionship and mental stimulation.
A compatible female dog, if sharing his home with another canine companion.
Diesel is a handsome, friendly boy with a good heart and plenty of potential. He needs someone who can channel his intelligence and enthusiasm in the right direction, while enjoying all the affection and companionship he has to offer.
With the right guidance, we think Diesel will make a wonderful, loyal companion.
